WRESTLING SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE ARMORY Firmco Falls For 1st Time Outscoring Firmco 28-6 in the third quarter enabled Yellow Cab to rush to a 74-56 triumph over the Myrtle Creek team Thursday night and hand the visitors their first defeat in 12 games this sea- ion. A close first half in which the score was tied seven times and the lead switched four times ended with the home team in. front 32-31. Yellow Cab led 18-14 after one quarter. But in tne disastrous mira period the cabmen took complete control of the game while holding the usually high-scoring r irmco reg ulars at bay. Yellow Cab control of backboard play and Firmco's inability to hit the basket provided the difference. At one time in the fourth period the winners manufactured a 33 point lead as everyone of the win ners 'contributed to the rout. Firmco meets OCE at Klamath Falls Saturday night.

The Yankee Clipper, a bit thin ner than his 187-pound ' playing weight and his hair flecked with gray, was in a reflective mood when a reporter found him loung ing in a Hollywood hotel lobby yes terday. "I'm glad I played ball when I did," he said. "In my era we had great rookies coming up in hands ful every spring. Now, if there is a Willie Mays once in two years, baseball people consider them selves lucky. I think there are too many buildings and not enough va cant lots. Maybe the Little League will fill the gap, eventually." Joe says he's still mulling over what he'll do for the rest of his life. He said he has rejected many business offers. Financially, he's fairly secure, but he says he needs to tie into something that is both interesting and permanent. "If I had a chance to catch on in the majors in an executive ca pacity after the majors come here, I'd like that," he said. "But I don't want to leave California. . I'm happy here. I divide my time be tween Los Angeles and San Fran cisco." Right now, Joe. is lining up a television show and is flying back to New York next week to dis cuss it. He says he may take a group of major leaguers of Ital ian descent to Italy next October.

To top the looks of last year's Buick the car that moved Buick into the top three of the nation's best sellers that was something. That gav e us two hits in a row, we figured and it seems we figured right. For with these stunning new 1955 Buicks, we're getting even more noses pressed against our showroom windows than last year and more folks coming in to look and study and drive and buy.

Strength is featured from top to bottom of the weekend card be hind Gomez and LaChapelle. Rough Leo Wallick tackles George Strickland in a 30 minute or best of three fall semi-final. In the 20-minute special event,' new comer Bud Curtis meets strong man Jim LaRock. Besides being a meeting of two event winners off of last week's card, Saturday night's main event holds at stake for the winner a shot at world's champion Frank Stojack next month. Gomez was fancy in upsetting head - butting Don Kindred last week, but goes up against the rug ged LaChapelle who only last week won by decision over highly re garded Wallick. LaChapelle was given the deci sion over Wallick by referee El ton Owen on the basis that he had outwrestled Wallick. But quite a few Wallick fans, of course, dis agreed. Walick gels his chance to take nut any spite he may hold against the experienced Strickland of Og den, Utah. Strickland was a for mer grappler at Ohio University and among his more recent ac complishments he pulverized Kin dred with his pet rolling step-over toe hold. The special event could provide fans with the most surprises as newcomer Bud Curlts steps into the ring to do battle with ex-AAU and Olympic champ Jim LaRock. Big Curtis is orginally from In diana and played football at Ariz ona State where he also wrestled and won the national heavyweight weightlifing title in 1945. He has appeared on TV recently and holds the distinction of having been ra ted stronger than either Georges Duselte and Eric Pederson. Tickets, arc on sale at Powells. RACING ARCADIA, Calif.
